Ibera Bike Rack - Bicycle Touring Carrier Plus+ for Disc Brake/Non-Disc Brake Mount, Fat Tire Bikes, Frame-Mounted for Heavier Top & Side Loads, Height Adjustable for 26"-29" Frames

I just put this on my Juiced Ripcurrent a 4" fat tire ebike. It was pretty easy to install. Looks to be good quality and just what I was looking for.

Good rack, not designed for bikes with Boost rear axle spacing I knew when I bought this rack that it was designed for the ‘standard’ rear axle spacing of 135mm that is used on bikes with 9mm quick-release skewers, and not the newer ‘Boost’ rear axle spacing of 148mm that is used on most modern mountain bikes that have 148mm x 12mm thru-axles. What that means in practical terms is that the cylindrical spacers provided are twice as long as necessary when the rack is used on a bike with Boost spacing. These spacers are 7/8” long and made of aluminum so they are very easy to cut if you are comfortable with that sort of thing. I simply cut one exactly in half and that made the width of the rack a perfect fit for the mounting lugs on my bike. Shortening the spacers required me to also grind down the length of the provided mounting screws to match the shorter rack+spacer dimension. You could simply go to the hardware store and buy shorter machine screws, but it was easy for me to just grind the provided screws to the length required. There was one other fit issue that was due to the frame geometry of many mountain bikes. The provided front carrier mounting arms were too short to work on my mountain bike. In general the angle of the seat tube mountain bikes use is quite a bit steeper than what was used in the past. The end result of that geometry is that the top rack mounting lugs on the bikes frame are a bit farther forward on the bike than older design bike frames. My bike is a 29er and that also stretches out the length of the bike a bit due to the larger wheel and tire. Bottom line is that the provided front carrier mounting arms are too short. To their credit Ibera does sell longer front carrier mounting arms on their US distributors website and they are a reasonable price. One other small bit of information that may be helpful to anyone trying to order the right parts is that the chainstay length of my bike is pretty short, 440mm. Before I had the actual rack in hand to check the fit, I hoped that short chainstay length might allow me to squeak by with the provided front carrier mounting arms. Even with that fairly short chainstay the arms were still too short for my bike. My guess is that any 29er with longer chainstays would also require the accessory longer front carrier mounting arms. I also bent the carrier mounting arms to match the radius of my tires just because I thought that looked better. I bought the rack knowing that I would have to do a bit of work to make it fit my bike properly. As far as I could determine at the time I bought this no company makes a rack that is specifically designed to fit modern mountain bike dimensions. But this rack can fit perfectly with the addition of the optional longer front carrier mounting arms and just a wee bit of work cutting the supplied cylindrical spacers to the length needed. The rack is good quality, fits perfectly with the changes detailed above, it easily clears my disk brakes, the provided machine screws are excellent quality, and it is rock solid on the bike. Just an FYI for comparison, I have installed the non-disk brake version of this rack on two other bikes in my family, not modern mountain bikes, and those racks fit their bikes perfectly with no modifications or extra work required.

This was the only rear rack I could find that was compatible both with disk brakes and recumbent bicycles and that mounted to eyelets over the dropouts rather than through the hub’s QR skewer (which would have made fixing a flat while on the road or towing a trailer a real PITA). At first was a bit skeptical because the Ibera rack employs a proprietary format designed only to work with the brand’s own QR trunk bag and panniers, it is not Universal. Also the seat on my RANS Stratus XP on its own is kinda loosey-goosey at best, wasn’t sure whether adding a rear rack into the mix would be be such a great choice. But as it turned out, with the addition of a couple little SS D-rings pre-drilled for M5 bolts*, I was able to adapt the rack itself to take DIY style panniers employing JANND Mountaineering hardware. A quick flip-flop of the lower bracket on my Ortlieb panniers allows them to be mounted as well — though I’ll admit the solution is not quite perfect it’s good enough. And best of all, installing the Ibera disk rack actually stiffened up the seat back on the Stratus so there is no longer perceptible lateral play. Works so well that I can use the turned up end of the rack as a handle to lift the rear of the bike when needed, a convenient feature to say the least. A lot of reviewers have complained about the quality of the included bolts; not sure if there is actually anything wrong with the hardware currently being shipped. The shorter M5 and M6 pieces seem to be aluminum, not a bad choice where they screw directly into the rack since they won’t react against it chemically the way zinc-plated steel would. But on chromoly steel frame bikes the two M5x10mm bolts that connect the rack’s arms to the seat stays might not be the best option, and who knows what grade are the two M5x35mm bolts that support the vertical rack stays through the horizontal sleeves screwing into the bike frame itself. So as a precautionary measure I immediately replaced all the bolts with comparable items from Bel-Metric, choosing a couple mms longer on the shorter M5 and M6 screws so as to accommodate the addition of SS split-lock washers and also selecting M5x40 units over those stock M5x35 so they’d protrude a bit beyond the eyelets and thus be less prone to becoming unscrewed. Not to mention as my ride is a recumbent, I had to mount the rack arms to my bike’s seat stays with 1/2” SS P-clamps; turned out that just like the clamps, the ends of the rack arms are drilled for M6 screws rather than the M5 supplied so of course that’s what I chose, along with M6 SS Nyloc flange washers. Can’t understand the complaints about lack of installation instructions, mine came with a perfectly detailed guide. Only tip I might add, if you keep the original metric bolts, scrub off all the dried blue Loctite, it only makes it more difficult to screw them in and won’t offer much in the way of protection against vibration and corrosion. Replace with a generous (but not excessive!) fresh coat of the liquid, it will act as a lubricant while still wet and make it even easier to screw everything together; once dry will act as an effective chemical barrier. I personally wouldn’t grease the shorter M5 and M6 bolts as that will only make them more prone to unscrewing but would cover their entire lengths with Loctite; again, the addition of SS split lock washers should help too (belt and suspenders). * https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PQNGRW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The fits is great. Super light. I sat on it to test weight capacity, plenty strong. Easy install.

The bike rack is relatively easy to install, and the instructions it comes with are easy to follow and understand. The rack is a solid construction, good quality product. The rod clamps that hold the rod arms for the front of it that screw in just behind the seat on the frame are solid, great quality clamps. You can attach almost anything to it; saddle bags, a basket, the versatility is effective. Noise is non-existent. This is a great piece of equipment anyone with a bike should have.

Great rack! Fit on my new Trek Verve 1 perfectly. Super light. Included hardware was perfect.

An actual fat tire rack, most reasonably priced pretty well built, I put on the lowest height selling and it clears my tire by 2 inches a little higher than I like lower gravity better I have a 26“ x 4“ the supporting rods in the front were just long enough to fit had an eighth of an inch sticking out after everything was adjusted and tightened down. I carry a 52V 20Ah battery on this rack in a drone case haven’t had a long enough to be able to score us life expectancy but my original one was garbage It lasted four years and three wrecks 30+ MPH go down unfortunately third wreck was the charm had to replace the rack UPDATE VERY NICE I DON’T DO THIS VERY OFTEN BUT I ADDED A STAR ONE OF MY VERY FEW FIVE STAR RATINGS HAVE A FAT TIRE 26 X 4“. IT’S HARD TO FIND ANYTHING PERFECT FIRE STAR.

Installed on my Rad Rover Fat Tire 6 plus ebike. Since the Radrover rear rack is unavailable I searched for a decent rack for my bike. Found this one and it is high quality and well built. If you are mounting on your RadRover you will need to order these extension rods (IBERA 11" Longer Rods One Pair for IB-RA4/RA5 Carrier Rack) as the ones that come with the Ibera and not long enough. Great items-

Oggetto ricevuto in anticipo sui tempi indicati. Bellissimo portapacchi di ottima fattura. Robusto ma leggero, permette l'installazione di tre capienti borse da viaggio supportando sino a 25 kg di peso. Installabile in biciclette da 26" / 29", prive di ammortizzazione posteriore e dotate di freno a disco (c'è anche il modello per freni normali). Purtroppo mi sono illuso di poterlo adattare alla mia bici reclinata ma, una volta ricevuto, mi sono reso conto che non sarebbe venuto un buon lavoro e che la necessaria robustezza per il carico di borse da viaggio non sarebbe stata sufficientemente garantita. AGGIORNAMENTO: Dopo un anno sono tornato sui miei passi e l'ho ordinato di nuovo. Devo partire per un viaggio in bici con un amico e questa volta la bici non è la reclinata bensì una Mountain Bike front (ammortizzata solo anteriormente). Nel fare l'ordine mi sono però reso conto che la mia bici non era dotata delle filettature per bloccare anteriormente il portabagagli per cui ho chiesto informazioni, sulla relativa pagina Amazon, se ci fossero stati in dotazione dei collarini per supplire al problema. Le risposte sono state negative. Ormai l'ordine era fatto e, tutto sommato, la soluzione al problema non mi sembrava così complicata. Una volta arrivato l'ordine ho provato a montare il portapacchi per vedere come fare per ovviare al problema. Con neanche un euro ho comprato alla ferramenta due collarini reggi tubo, li ho ricoperti con due pezzetti di guaina termorestringente per non rovinare la vernice della bici una volta montati, due bulloncini con relativi dadi e rondelle ed il gioco è fatto: stabilissimo! Poi ho voluto strafare ed ho aggiunto uno di quei parafanghetti di plastica flessibile che si assicurano con le fascette e l'ho piazzato sotto il portapacchi per far si che polvere ed acqua non sporchino la borsa che sta sopra. Perfetto! Ora sono pronto per affrontare il Coast to Coast Ancona - Orbetello ;-) parto il 31 agosto. Consigliatissimo a chi vuole attrezzare per i viaggi la propria bici normale, da strada o mtb, dotata di freni a disco e che sia priva dell'ammortizzatore posteriore.

Producto resistente, ligero y con exelentes terminados. Su ensamble fue relativamente fácil. Lo compré para usar las maletas de liberación rápida, ¡en su conjunto son una maravilla! Lo he utilizado con cargas menores a 5kg, ya sea para trayectos cortos casa-oficina (con asfalto irregular), así como para pequeñas rodadas en el bosque, el rack sujeta de manera sólida la maleta sin titubeos.

J'ai eu le rack PakRak plusieurs mois maintenant et je l'adore. Il était facile à installer et malgré le fait de rouler sur beaucoup de terrains accidentés, rien ne s'est détaché ou n'est tombé. Cher mais ça vaut le coup. I have had the PakRak rack several months now and love it. It was easy to install and despite riding over lots of rough terrain nothing has come loose or fallen out. Expensive but worth it.

Znächst zum Fahrrad: Ich besitze ein Cube Ltd. SL, Modell 2013, 29 Zoll, Scheibenbremsen. Der Träger wurde innerhalb weniger Tage gut verpackt geliefert. Anleitung, 4 Schrauben und Abstandshalter lagen bei. Anbau ist selbsterklärend und überraschend easy. Die Qualität ist perfekt und diese hatte ich in der Form nicht erwartet. Alle Achtung. Anbau an mein Rad erfolgte innerhalb von ca. 15 Minuten. Die Größe lässt sich von ca. 26" bis 29" über ein stabiles "Verstellstück" einstellen. Nun muss ich mir allerdings eine Lösung für den Spritzschutz überlegen. Nur beim 29" MTB (von 26"-28" gibt es genug Platz) wird es für ausladende Spritzschutze ein wenig eng. Aber das wird. Die Qualität des Trägers, die Stabilität, die Passgenauigkeit und die Optik ist in jedem Fall über jeden Zweifel erhaben. P.S.: Mein Rad ist überwiegend matt schwarz, der Träger auch.

When only the best will do. THIS IS Nicely made piece of kit, also have the Ibera Bicycle Clip-on Quick-Release Panniers (Pair) and the Ibera PakRak Bicycle Quick-Release Commuter Trunk Bagl and Ibera Bicycle All Weather Rain Cover for Commuter Bags and Panniers and have now also got the Ibera Extra Lightweight Alloy Bottle Cage, 29gm, Black to match too,also the Elite Trinkflasche Supercorsa Mtb Super Corsa Bottle-Clear Red, 0.75 litre , also I have fitted the Busch + Müller Toplight Line Brake Plus Rear Rack LED Light red Size:80 mm,on the break light plate, so looks really smart now, overall it all fits great and is easy to use, but at the same time very secure whilst traveling...if you are going to do it,do it right . Fitted on a bike with 700c X 42 Wheels with disc breaks
